How to increase number of database records?

I have a HiFi Walker H2, and Rockbox (the hosted version, not the native) works wonderfully on it. Currently I make a M3U playlist in BEAtunes of all my tracks, and copy it to the device. I can then shuffle the whole library. I’d like to try the database for all tracks, but it stops at 10k tracks. Is there a config setting to modify that? Or, if I need to recompile, where is that variable in the code base?
TIA!

I've been having trouble with the stereo channels swapping around on the native port, and I made a thread about it before, but it's been a while and no one has replied. Anyone here who knows what could be causing it?

I think I found the bug and posted a test build in your thread, have you gotten a chance to test it yet?

Yeah, I saw that, sorry for not responding earlier. I can't get the problem to reproduce now, so I think it's fixed. Will this patch be in the regular version now?

No worries, I just wanted to make sure you had seen it - I've been caught out by not being subscribed to threads on this forum before. It's not merged yet, but we should be able to do so soon. Thanks for testing!

This wiki section: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/JztoolInstall#Removing_Rockbox lacks of a dump of AIGO Eros Q.

I could share my dump if it's useful for other users. My dump is from HiFi Walker H2 with Official Firmware 1.5. Maybe if yet it isn't known if the official firmware version is relevant for the restore of the backup, the wiki editors could add my dump for OF 1.5 as base firmware version (that it's better than nothing)

By all means do! I can add it to the wiki for you.

My device was bought 3 weeks ago (maybe that information is useful).

Having two new issues and I'm not sure if I should do a fresh install.  I upgrade to the latest nightly hosted every few days.

Recently, if I plug in my player, either to charge it or transfer data, and then I unplug it, it no longer goes back to where I left off, but to the beginning of the directory.  I have to make a bookmark before plugging it in or I'll lose my place.

Also, if I try to initialize the database, the player freezes up.

I'll try a fresh install.

Edit: Okay.  I've tinkered a bit more.  Exact symptoms.

1.  Initialize database.  I never should have done it.
2.  Stays stuck on 0, but does finish after a few minutes and asks to reboot.
3.  Says it's getting the database ready, counts up to ten, now playing screen, brick.  Hard reset with power button.  Brick.
4.  Easy fix.  Connect to computer, delete all database files.  IT'S ALIVE.
5.  But, from now on, if I connect to PC or charge it, (I'm aware it thinks it's connected to a PC even while charging,) it will not remember my place.  It will return to the beginning of the first file in the directory I was listening to.  It also says in system that the database is initialized.

I've never used the database.  I just directory browse, and hit it by accident.  Can I uninitialize it without reinstalling Rockbox?  I have my settings just right.  🙂

First try a truly clean install

Rename current rockbox directory and unzip the zip file to the drive root

Your settings file will be out of the equation then..

Recent playlist related changes broke auto Bookmarking for me. Your new issues might be related. Latest working build for me from 2023-03-22 (See Dev builds -> Your device -> Older builds)

Yeah, recent booksmarks broke for me too when I updated from a months-old dev build to one from a few days ago.

I just received my Surfans F20 today and immediately installed Rockbox - it's also my first experience of Rockbox. Overall it seems pretty good. I've been using a Cowon S9 since 2009, but yesterday it lost the ability to be mounted in Windows.

Anyway, I don't think that bookmarks are working in the latest daily build, as others have mentioned. The last reported working build from 2023-03-22 is no longer available for download. Could someone upload a copy of a build with a working bookmarks feature please?

Thanks!

[rsmith32]

My mistake - bookmarks are working. I just wasn't familiar with how to use them.

I have also switched to the native port - and bookmarks also work with it. I must say, I'm pretty happy with rockbox - it's a quantum leap over the original firmware. My only complaint with the F20 in general is the 10 hour battery life. My Cowon S9 could get more than that with a 14 year old battery, a larger screen and smaller overall size.

[mrsubway]

Still having bookmark failures, resume problems and still cannot build the database.

I'd like to switch to the native, but I don't want to brick my player, as it seems it's something you just can't flash.

Well, I installed the native.  It works, but I made two mistakes.  I didn't backup the original bootloader.  So, now I have native, but when I boot to OF, I get the hosted bootloader!  It's because I didn't flash back to stock BEFORE flashing the native.  So, I then have to select the OF on THAT bootloader too.

Oh well.  I don't suppose anyone has a HIFI Walker 1.5 backup.

Final edit.  Found a 1.5 backup.  Flashed to original firmware.  Flashed my old upt file with clean 1.5 OF.  Reflashed Rockbox bootloader, and now I have a proper native install.

The only issue I'm having is the USB connection to the PC is SLOW, so much so that I have to use OF to transfer files.

I feel like an idiot.
